Abstract

There exist interesting and unexplored relations between symplectic geometry and the theory of critical points of holomorphic functions. One of the manifestations of these relations is the Wahl-Neumann theorem, according to which the Euler characteristics of the Floer homology of the boundary of a Milnor fiber of a quasi-homogeneous function of 3 variables is proportional to the signature of the Milnor fiber, provided that the boundary is a homological 3-sphere [1].
